  Grace Marks : [writing to Simon]  Although I have made many quilts in my day, I am finally making one for myself. The pattern of this quilt is called "The Tree of Paradise," and I am changing it a little to suit my own ideas. On my Tree of Paradise, I intend to put a border of snakes. Without a snake or two, the main part of the story would be missing.

  Grace Marks : The tree itself is of triangles in two colors, dark for the leaves and a lighter color for the fruits. But three of the triangles in my tree will be different. One will be red, from the petticoat I still have that was Mary Whitney's. One will be faded yellowish, from my prison nightdress. And the third will be a pale pink cotton, cut from the dress of Nancy's that she had on the first day I was at Mr. Kinnear's and that I wore when I was running away. I will embroider around each one of them, to blend them in as part of the pattern. And so, we will all be together.

  Simon's Mother : [finishing reading to comatose Simon]  And so we will all be together. - Grace
